Hello and welcome to our home in the heart of Connemara in the West of Ireland, along the Wild Atlantic Way. We live in a truly beautiful part of the country with so many natural attractions and places to visit nearby. The ferry to the Arsn Islands is just a short drive away as is the local airport that services the Aran Islands. Or why not take a drive along the beautiful Inagh Valley with its stunning views, taking in Kylemore Abbey along the way. Galway City is a bus ride away and the city is buzzing with culture, music and regular festivals. You will hear a lot of Irish (Gaelic language) being spoken in the local shops near our home. We welcome you to this beautiful part of Ireland and wish you a peaceful and enjoyable stay with us.

Eithne was very welcoming and I loved the location.
June 2016
Eithne was wonderful, and she has a lovely family and a dog I fell madly in love with. We had a mixup about meals (my mixup mostly), but she was very accommodating, and we worked it out. Her house and garden were beautiful, and the surrounding countryside was a delight to wander through. I got some great photos in the countryside and at the beach. I would recommend staying with her to anyone, and I would go back there in a heartbeat the next time I travel in Ireland.
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) using a choice of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal (not available in certain countries). You then pay your host on arrival or as stated by your host on their profile and agreed by you on booking. Please be cautious if a host requests advance payment if its not included on their profile. Our hosts have been advised that if they wish to request advance payment they must make this explicit in their profile. We do not recommend the use of Money gram or Western Union.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
